Hi everyone from Reston, VA

[jtstar]

Are these wild elderberries or some that you have planted and udo as Wade has suggested I did but I am still waiting for it to age a little before drinking it

I'd definately be up for an edlerberry picking party.

Agreed!! I think it would be an awesome get-together

Welcome aboard. You found a great forum with great pepole.

Glad to see another member from Virginia. We still have along way to go to catch those folks in PA!

Yeah, I noticed there are very few of us Virginians, thanks for the welcome!

You are very lucky for that elderberry option. It makes such an awesome wine and when you get them be sure to ask for Julie's Elderberry Blush recipe to make seconds out of the used fruit. It reallly is that good!

Thanks for the recommendation Wade!

Sometime in August depending on what the weather is. It takes about 20 pounds of fruit to make a good eldlerberry to start with, thats about 4 gallons of fruit. We are barely an hour from Reston so you could do this all in a day easy. Crackedcork

Thank you for the invite!! That sounds like it would be a lot of fun! When do you normally pick eldeberries? We are definitely interested!
